Car Rental Contracts
Q. What should my car rental contracts include?
A. It should list the base rate for the rental car and any extra
fees. The length of the rental
period should also appear.
Q. What extra fees could there be?
A. The rental company might offer you the Collision Damage Waiver
(CDW) option. The
rental company covers damage to your rented car if you accept CDW. However,
coverage
does not include personal injuries or personal property damage. Before
accepting this
expensive option, make sure your own automobile, medical, and homeowner's
insurance
policies do not already protect you in an accident involving a rented
car. If traveling on
business, your company's insurance policy might cover you. Sometimes,
charging rentals
on certain credit cards automatically covers you.
Other additional fees might include drop-off fees, if you leave the car
in a different
city than where you picked it up. More costs might be fuel charges, extra
mileage fees,
and fees for renting equipment like child safety seats or ski racks.
